+### Getting a newer 0.2.x
+
+`npx` keeps the package it downloaded for `sentinel-ir-mcp@0.2` and keeps
+starting that copy, even when a newer 0.2.x is on npm (measured with npm
+10.8.2, 10.8.3 and 10.9.9: a cached 0.2.2 kept running after 0.2.3 was
+released; `--prefer-online` and `npm cache clean --force` did not change it).
+To get the newest 0.2.x:
+
+1. Check what runs: `npx -y sentinel-ir-mcp@0.2 doctor` prints
+   `sentinel-ir-mcp <version>`.
+2. Close the client app and delete the `_npx` folder in npm's cache
+   (`npm config get cache` shows where it is; usually `~/.npm/_npx`, on
+   Windows `%LocalAppData%\npm-cache\_npx`). This removes all packages cached
+   by `npx`, not only this one; they are downloaded again when needed.
+3. Start the client again. The next start downloads the newest 0.2.x.
+
 A folder that is literally named `setup`, `doctor` or `guide` must now be
 passed as `./setup` (or an absolute path); the bare word is the command.
 
+### Upgrading from 0.2.x
+
+Configs written by 0.2.x pin `sentinel-ir-mcp@0.2` and keep running 0.2.x,
+which has no Python support. Run `setup` again for your client (it replaces
+only the `"sentinel-ir"` entry); `doctor` warns about an entry that still pins
+0.2 or older. If the client still starts an old version, see
+[Getting a newer version](#getting-a-newer-version).
